Commissions Earned
The 2002 film adaptation of “Minority Report” is coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook on December 9th via Paramount Home Media Distribution. Steven Spielberg produced and directed this adaptation of a Philip K. Dick short story. It starred Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Max Von Sydow, Samantha Morton, Steve Harris, and Neal McDonough. It’s worth noting that this movie remains “Certified Fresh” (by critics’ ratings) on Rotten Tomatoes.

Lastly, I know that online communities such as Reddit love to decide what is “old news” when sharing my posts. Well, I’ve decided to start something that Community Notes on X actually inspired. I’ll now always include the first X post that announces the “news” itself and cite it below, after the break. It’s a waste of my time, to be honest, but it’s fun to put in, to show how silly statements like that truly are. I count 7 and a half hours between when I posted this one and when it made its way to the website. There was a lot of news this morning.
